The ideas and concepts of what goes on "out there" also
can inspire minds in so many different subjects such as
literacy and art in addition to the all important
science areas of the national curriculum.

After a twelve-year grounding in astronomy teaching, writing and presenting, founder Anton Vamplew worked at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, London, for eight years. Here he wrote and delivered planetarium shows and ran astronomy courses for students of all ages.

He is also a published author of two books designed to make easy sense of the sky and how it all works: "Simple Stargazing" (2005) and "Anton Vamplew's Stargazing Secrets" (2007), both published by Collins.

Here are the our general school presentations:
